Hobbes, Locke, and Confusion's Masterpiece: An Examination of Seventeenth-Century Political Philosophy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780521017190)

In this major study of the foundations of modern political theory, the eminent political philosopher Ross Harrison explains, analyzes, and criticizes the work of Hobbes, Locke and their contemporaries.

The book explores the limits of political authority and the relationship of the legitimacy of government to the will of its people in non-technical, accessible prose.
